Review and Winner for Thriller Primal

PRIMAL
by D.A. Serra (screenplay originally purchased by James Cameron)

The
most dangerous place on Earth is between a mother and her child...

With
everything at stake - what are you capable of? What if the worst happens and
you're not a policeman, a soldier, or a spy with weapons training and an iron
heart? What if you're a schoolteacher - a mom? In this gritty crime thriller a
family vacation takes a vicious turn when a fishing camp is invaded by four
armed men. With nothing except her brains, her will, and the element of surprise
on her side, Alison must learn to kill or watch her family die.

And
then, things get worse.

My
Review - 5

What
a fantastic story, this had it all while keeping me on the edge of my seat. At
only 222 pages this seriously left a thrilling impression on me. A mothers
instinct will take priority over everything when it means protecting her child
from life or death.

Primal
was so much more than I expected, great characters, intense situations, the flow
and energy, dialogue, plot and overall I found it came together and was
believable.

Alison
and her husband Hank decide to take their 8 year old son on his choice of
vacation. They were expecting Disney but he chose a fishing trip. The petite
put together mom does not have the ruffing it out look but she will not let her
family down even though she could have got out of it.

We
have the Bourne brothers whose mom's parental upbringing was loving to them but
not trusting to the world which created monsters with her unorthodox psychotic
way of thinking. I enjoyed the similar spark of the moms love for their
families. The metaphors used throughout the story were very well done.

When
these families come together by accident it is non stop action, hold onto your
seats, you will not want to stop reading, completely engaged, you will get
wrapped up and lost in this adventure. Some hardcore kick ass scenes, makes you
say whoa. I was thinking, we are not even 50% in the story where would DA Serra
go next.

The
middle of the story is about dealing with the tragedies, the critical incidents
that happened on the fishing vacation that was a matter of life and death.
Alison has post traumatic stress and you then start wondering is she going
crazy, how much help does she need or are her thoughts real. This part of the
story was emotional and heartbreaking but Alison is an amazing strong female
character.

Hank
was such a supportive loving husband that was dealing with his own emotions and
guilt to assist her. Finally he had to make some tough love choices which was
like a slap in her face. This takes us towards the ending.

What
a great wrap up ending, even if you figure it out it is still shocking, very
well executed. I was thoroughly impressed and entertained throughout. I
thought this can cross over to many genre fans appreciating it but it is a
Thriller. You get Suspense, Romance, Adult Fiction, Crime all wrapped up to
create a memorable story. Another read for the men in your life, they will
appreciate as much as females.
